Every book I write has its own soundtrack. Certain songs carry me through chapters, anchor me to emotions, or set the atmosphere when I need to step into my characters’ world. Beacon in the Darkness is no exception.

Here’s a peek at some of the songs that shaped Kat & Mac’s journey:

Playlist Highlights

Chasing Cars – Snow Patrol (the emotional heartbeat of the book)

Demons – Imagine Dragons

In the End – Tommee Profitt ft. Fleurie

The Sound of Silence – Disturbed

Rescue – Lauren Daigle

Each of these songs carried weight as I wrote—the ache of grief, the tension of danger, the quiet moments of connection that grow between Kat and Mac.

And because I’m a deeply visual writer, I also built a moodboard. Imagine: storm-dark skies, abandoned Romanian forests, the glow of a lone flashlight, the unwavering gaze of a German shepherd, and the spark of hope between two people who weren’t looking for love, but found it anyway.

These songs and images are a small piece of what fueled Beacon in the Darkness. My hope is that when you read it, you’ll feel that same pulse of emotion.
